best known and most respected
young people of this community,

the fullest blessings of their new

Patriotism is at a low ebb in
Denison. At the municipal cleo
ton in that city on Monday, the 9TH
inst, only sixty.three votes were
cast. While J. Fred Myers and Dell
Keith have been discussing each
others shortcomings and regulating
the supreme court, they have neg
lected the field of local politics.
Their failure to brand the candi-
date for mayor as a horscthiet and
villain probably explains the lack Of
interest IN the election. Thus do
politics and patriotism degenerate.
Joe l.. Stotts, writing from Sun.
dance, Wyo., under date of March
I'D, says: This has been one of the
most severe winters, for stock, ever
experienced in the territory. A
good many cattle have persisted
from hunger and cold. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the loss at presesst,
but it will probably reach fifty per
cent among the range cattle. Our
loss has been very small so tar, COM
pared with the large herds. The
weather is warm and pleasant at
present.
